Keep a lightweight view of your search footprint with a recurring index inventory report.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
List Indices
Tool to list all indices and their metadata. use when you need to retrieve index names, sizes, and state before performing operations that depend on index properties.
Why this helps
Index lists and metadata are easy to forget until a cleanup or migration requires a manual audit.
- See index names, sizes, and states in one recurring report.
- Reduce last-minute discovery work before a migration or cleanup.
- Give yourself a prompt to review index growth and status.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Ably and Algolia once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, or tell Notis in plain language from any channel.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to list Algolia indices and summarize their available metadata.
- 4Pick a recurring schedule and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real example and check that the report includes the available index metadata.
Questions about this workflow
Does this change or delete any indices?
No. It uses List Indices to retrieve index names and metadata for review.
Can the report identify which indices are no longer needed?
It can summarize returned metadata, but it cannot know your retention policy or which indices are safe to remove unless you provide those criteria.
Why use a schedule?
A recurring schedule creates a regular review point without depending on an Ably event, which is not listed as available.
